The process is expanding the collection of landfill gas while providing the daily needs of Tropicana creating a new revenue stream for landfill and reducing mobilization charges and the cost of solid waste production. The gas gets brought into a system to be cleaned and purified and sent to Tropicana which uses 90% of the landfill gas if not more. 2. Capital Leases - Caterpillar 962M Wheel Loader and Caterpillar 725 Articulated Truck Lease Agreements St. Lucie County Solid Waste (SLCSW) requires the use of heavy-duty wheel loaders and articulated trucks around the site for daily operation. In the past, this equipment was purchased. Staff is requesting to lease a new 2023 Caterpillar Wheel Loader and one new 2023 articulating truck (water wagon) to replace equipment that is nearing or has reached its end of life. It is more cost-effective to lease this equipment on a long-term basis rather than purchase them since maintenance is included in the leases. Staff recommended the Board authorize staff to enter into long-term capital leases, with options to buy, for a new 2023 Caterpillar 962M Medium Wheel Loader and a new 2023 Caterpillar 725 Articulated Truck (water wagon) from Florida Sheriff's Association Contract# FSA18-VEH16.0, Specification#64, at the following costs following review and approval from the County Attorney. Adopted by Consent Vote 3. Bid Waiver and Capital Equipment Purchase - Two eFactor3 Metso Waste Shredders St. Lucie County Solid Waste (SLCSW) requests a bid waiver per Section 8.1 (a) (3) of the purchasing manual to purchase two used Metso eFactor3 Waste Shredders and a Cutting Table 4000-8 Samurai HF (cost reduced on unit 1 by $30,000.00 because it has <100 hours and cost reduced on unit 2 by $30,000.00 because it has <100 hours and Cutting Table cost reduced by $66,980.00) This would allow SLCSW to mulch yard waste and garbage in-house. SLCSW expended $671,561.72 in FY 19- 20 and $502,424.51 in FY 20-21 for an outside vendor to mulch yard waste. A waste shredder eliminates the need for an outside vendor. An outside shredder vendor was not budgeted for in the current Budget for FY22-23. A second waste shredder would allow SLCSW to shred garbage. Based on a four -month period of demonstrations, this would result in smaller, denser bales and increase garbage bale weights by an average of 1,000 pounds. This translates to 3 bales of shredded garbage for every 4 bales of un-shredded garbage. This is an airspace savings, increasing the life of the SLC Landfill. 7 1 P a g E BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, December 6, 2022 6:00 PM Staff recommended the Board authorize staff to purchase the two used eFactor3 Metso Waste Shredders and one cutting table for a total cost of $1,995,700.00. Adopted by Consent Vote 4. New Capital Lease and Exercise of Purchase Option - Caterpillar 745 Articulated Trucks St. Lucie County Solid Waste (SLCSW) requires the use of heavy-duty dump trucks around the site for daily operation. In the past, this equipment was purchased. Staff is requesting to lease one new 2023 Caterpillar 745 Articulating Truck to replace equipment that is nearing or has reached its end of life. Staff is also requesting to exercise the purchase option on an existing lease agreement for a 2019 Caterpillar Articulating Truck currently in SLCSW possession. It is more cost-effective to lease this equipment on a long-term basis rather than purchase them since maintenance is included in the leases, however, the 2019 Caterpillar 745 is nearing the end of a three-year lease and still has a few years of useful life. Staff recommended the Board authorize staff to enter into one long-term capital leases, with option to buy, for a new 2023 Caterpillar 745 Articulated Truck and exercise the option to buy under and existing capital lease for one 2019 Caterpillar 745 Articulated Truck from Florida Sheriff's Association Contract# FSA18-VEH16.0, Specification#64, at the following costs following review and approval from the County Attorney. Adopted by Consent Vote Changes were made to the agenda items order. 9. PUBLIC HEARINGS A.

No responses have been received to date. Engineering Design and Construction, Inc. submitted a site plan adjustment on behalf of Drawdy Properties LLC to amend the approved site plan from six (6) to ten (10) total lots. The 152.29-acre parcel is located on the west side of South Header Canal Road, 2,000 feet south of the intersection of Header Canal Road and Okeechobee Road. The applicants own two parcels of land totaling 57.87 acres, located on the west side of Header Canal Road, approximately 2,000 feet south of the intersection of SR 70 (Okeechobee Road) and Header Canal Road. The proposed site plan provides individual driveway access to each of the lots from South Header Canal Road. The property is currently zoned as Commercial General. The property owners are requesting Major Site Plan approval to add four (4) additional lots to an existing subdivision, for a total of ten (10) agricultural and single-family subdivisions.

PUBLIC HEARINGS C. PUBLIC WORKS Ru-Mar Agricultural Tailwater Recovery Project Mining Permit Exemption Application - THIS ITEM IS QUASI-JUDICIAL - Continued from October 4, 202� This public hearing was Quasi -Judicial, and the commissioners made the following disclosures regarding this item: Commissioner Jamie Fowler - Spoke with staff and Matt Mandel. Commissioner Linda Bartz - Spoke with staff and Matt Mandel. Commissioner Larry Leet- Spoke with staff only 14 1 BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, December 6, 2022 6:00 PM Commissioner Chris Dzadovsky - Spoke with staff and Matt Mandel. Chair Cathy Townsend - Spoke with staff, Matt Mandel and Wes Carlton. Daniel Zrallack, Public Works Engineer, and Benjamin Balcer, Planning & Development Assistant Director, presented this item to the Board. A public hearing notice was placed in the St. Lucie News Tribune on September 23, 2022, mail notices were sent to property owners within 500 feet of the subject property, and a sign was placed on the property. The parent parcel consists of +/-643.08 acres, located approximately 0.9 miles west of Glades Cut -Off Road and east of the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) C-23 Canal in southwestern St. Lucie County. Ru-Mar Inc. filed a Mining Permit exemption application for the removal of excess soil material associated with the construction of a tailwater recovery system, which is a recognized best management practice to facilitate the reuse of stormwater runoff from ±310-acres of agricultural fields for irrigation water. On January 6, 2022, the South Florida Water Management District Permit 56-03913-W was issued permitting the dewatering of the water table aquifer to facilitate the excavation of two tailwater recovery ponds. All water and effluent were required to be held on -site with a constructed recharge trench and perimeter berms of the agricultural field. On February 4, 2022, South Florida Water Management District granted Exemption No. 56-106512-P for the construction of the Ru-Mar Agricultural Tailwater Recovery project. The project two (2) tailwater recovery ponds 18.4 acres and 14.6 acres with a maximum water depth of 10 feet and some excavated fill was used to create perimeter berms at an estimated 80,000 cubic yards of surplus material that remains stockpiled onsite. The excavation process will reuse stormwater runoff from agricultural fields as irrigation water on -site. Any operation that includes the excavation or removal of earth off -site more than one hundred (100) cubic yards is required to get a Mining Permit, unless exempt according to Section 11.05.11 (A.2) of the Land Development Code. The Land Development Code Section 6.06.01 A., states, "It shall be illegal to excavate or mine, as defined in Chapter II, any real property in St. Lucie County without first obtaining a mining permit for such activity, except as exempted in Section 11.05.11." Additionally, there is an exemption for the removal of material for development in which the material is being excavated to provide on -site stormwater management, this includes a process for the off -site removal of material over one hundred (100) cubic yards, provided the property owner receives approval from the Board through the public hearing process. The property owner of Ru-Mar Inc. proposes to remove the ±80,000 cubic yards of excess material off -site ±4,000 dump truck loads for use at other projects within the greater Tradition area of the County. The proposal provides the hauling route that indicates the trucks will be traveling North of Glades Cut -Off Road and South of Rangeline Road. Staff recommended the Board approve the mining permit exemption with the following conditions: • The removal of excavated material under this exemption shall be performed and completed by June 6, 2023. The hauling operation is limited to Monday through Friday within the hours of 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM, excluding holidays. If there are documented adverse effects from the hauling operation during the school session, the County Engineer may further restrict the hours of operation from daylight to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. A maintenance agreement bond or line of credit will be secured within 30 days of Board Approval and maintained until receiving County written approval of hauling completion. The County will inspect the haul route, including but not limited to, Glades Cut -Off Road and Range Line Road, during and following the hauling operation. Ru-Mar, Inc. will be responsible for any damage associated with the hauling. 151Page BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, December 6, 2022 6:00 PM • This mining permit exemption may be revoked for: (1) Violation of any condition imposed upon such approval; and (2) Upon complaint and proof of adverse effect on adjacent properties. The permit may be revoked only after the Board of County Commissioners holds a public hearing in accordance with Section 11.00.04 unless the permittee consents to a revocation of the permit. If the permittee provides written consent to the revocation, the Director shall revoke the permit and notify the Board of County Commissioners of the revocation. Vannessa Stevens, of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Office of Agricultural Water Policy addressed the Board on behalf of Ru-Mar Inc. and provided a brief overview of the water quality assessment program, stakeholders, design, water recovery process, and BMAP compliance implementations of the proposed property request. Amy Sarazen Thibaut, of Pavese Law Form on behalf of Ru-Mar Inc., addressed the Board regarding the regulatory aspects of the proposal request. She advised the public the applicant's request is not a mining proposal it is for an exemption for an excavation related to agricultural operations, and an onsite water management system. There will be no undue effects on nearby properties, and the development will not interfere development use of neighboring properties. Mrs. Thibaut also advised the proposal does not request approval for future excavation and the excavation is complete. Chair Townsend opened the hearing for public comment at this time. The following people addressed the Board. • Melissa Jakes • Kathy Schoen • Jamie Josephs With no one else wishing to address the Board, Chair Townsend closed the public hearing. The Board discussed the Right to Farm Act, the building of the Tailwater Recovery Project, hours of operations for construction, and the proposed hauling route. Commissioner Dzadovsky questioned the excavation project; can a voluntary requirement be added to the condition for the applicant to add a five -cent contribution for each ton the County that can be utilized for road resurfacing or environmental concerns? County Attorney McIntyre advised the County cannot require an extraction fee under state law from anyone in the terms of mining. He advised the applicant can agree to contribute the five cents per ton voluntarily as no requirement or ask from the staff. Mr. McIntyre addressed the concerns regarding the hours of operation as part of the mining permit exemption conditions and suggested the applicant consider a modification in the verbiage to strike "daylight to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday" to read "the County Engineer may further restrict the hours of operation" or "may reasonably restrict the hours of operation" to clean up the intent and to provide more flexibility to staff in the event of any conflict with school or anything else. Kate English, a representative on behalf of Ru-Mar Inc. addressed the Board and public concerns and advised 161Page BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, December 6, 2022 6:00 PM the applicant is acceptable to the reasonable modification of the language. She advised the public and advised again the proposal is not a mining project the construction is of a surface water facility to capture the water that falls on the property to be reused for irrigation purposes to be beneficial to the property. Upon completion of the excavation project, there were 80,000 cubic yards of fill left on the property, and due to the excess fill, the property cannot be used for farming. She pointed although there are exemptions to allow agricultural excavation without a permit from the County there are additional exemptions needed to remove excess fill generated by constructing the surface water management system. There are 133 days to haul the excess fill and will be a total of 36 trucks a day for 9 hours. Mrs. English advised the applicant is agreeable to the conditions and the modifications as stated by staff and the County Attorney. As a requirement of staff, a 150,000 bond was posted to address road concerns associated with the project. Mrs. English addressed the public concerns regarding roads, pet safety, and the Right to Farm Act. She also advised the project has been certified as complete by the South Florida Water Management District meaning no more dirt can be moved it can only be maintained in its current configuration. Commissioner Leet questioned how to address public concerns regarding road safety/speeding legally, and monitor grid cameras to catch license plates for speeders. Mr. McIntyre advised the Sheriff's office has an Agricultural Law Unit within the area and on behalf of the residents, the County could request increased enforcement. He advised due to Florida Laws in place research would need to be done regarding the grid cameras, but a license plate reader may be possible. A motion was made to approve staff recommendations, with the amended language as discussed to restrict the hours of operation on school days as referenced, and it passed unanimously.

After discussion, the Commission voted 4-3 to recommend denial of the proposed amendment with the motion maker generally stating the proposal was too much development, too soon after the amendment of the Urban Service Boundary Expansion and that the County should consider creating transitional land use policy, potentially in the range of one (1) dwelling unit per acre. Staff has reviewed the proposed Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map Amendment and proposed sub -area policies and determined it is generally consistent with the Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan. Staff recommended the Board approve the transmittal of the Future Land Use Map Amendment to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) and Corresponding Review Agencies with staff's recommended sub -area policy adjustments. Bob Raynes, Land Use Attorney of Gunster Law Firm on behalf of the applicant provided an overview of the transmittal request to the state for the Board's approval. He advised the public will have more opportunities to speak on the project the zoning, site plans and Development Plans will come back before the Board at a future meeting. The request for transmittal approval is for the state's comments and views of the project. The applicant requested the Board to determine whether the proposed amendment is consistent with all the elements of the St. Lucie County comprehensive plan Florida Statutes. He advised the subject site is located completely within the County's Urban Service Boundary. Mr. Raynes provided the public with a breakdown of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) and advised of the contract between the applicant and the County Commissioners that will allow the Board to implement certain conditions and have more discretion and control on the approval of the project. The transmittal to the state will allow the project to come back before the Board for any restrictions, setbacks, approval, or denial. Dan Sorrow, the agent on behalf of the applicant addressed the Board and introduced the project team. Mr. Sorrow provided a property overview and advised projects over 50 acres will be transmitted to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) for review and comments before adoption. The Florida Statute 163.3191 Evaluation and Appraisal Review of Comprehensive Plan (EAR) will be reviewed every 7 years and Oak Ridge Ranches will be reviewed consistent with the last EAR submitted by St. Lucie County. The proposed future land use for Oak Ridge Ranch Mixed -Use Development (MXD) provides the greatest flexibility and creativity, in sustainable neighborhoods that other land uses may not. Mr. Sorrow also provided an overview of the presented Sub -Area Policy and advised the requested change of Land Use is to allow a density of 3 units per acre and commercial uses are transitionally compatible with existing development adjacently to located in the City of Port St. Lucie. In closing approval of the transmittal was requested. Commissioner Leet questioned the change in density from 8,600 to 9,688 dwelling units. Mr. Sorrow advised the initial proposal to Planning & Zoning was for 8,600 dwelling units the motion failed along with other presented items the proposal reverted to the original request for staff review for 9,688 dwelling units. Commissioner Dzadovsky questioned if the density can be lowered back to 8,600. Scott Morton, VP of Planning and Entitlements for Oak Ridge Ranches, LLC addressed the Board and advised he is in agreeance to lower the density to 8,600 rather it be taken care of through the Sub -Area Policy or is a maximum provided into the ultimate PUD documents to the total number allowed. A consultation with staff will be needed for the best way to implement the change. 9:25 PM — Recess taken 191Page BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, December 6, 2022 6:00 PM 9:37 PM — Reconvened Heidi Mehaffey Esq.

The PUD does not get transmitted to the state the process is to come forward with the land use amendment, and that amendment alone will be transmitted to the state. He advised the concern of Wetland preservation is a site plan issue and will not be addressed until the proposal comes back before the Board for a final decision on any restrictions, buffers, or any requirements on the project at the PUD level. The process will take 30 to 60 days for the state -level review and staff will be working with the applicant during the process to make adjustments to the plan before coming back to the Board for approval or denial of the adoption, site plans, zoning, sub -division plat, etc. The project is a 25-year plan in phases the units will not be built all at once. Commissioner Leet questioned if the item could be shelved until a meeting is had with the City of Port St. Lucie due to the traffic impact, annexation, and roadways. Mr. McIntyre advised the legal option would be to move for a non -transmittal until the meeting with the City of Port St. Lucie or the Board could move to approve the transmittal and still meet with the City. Mr. McIntyre suggested continuing the hearing. The Board discussed Planned Unit Development (PUD) conditions, Future Land Uses, Urban Service Boundary areas, voluntary and non -voluntary annexation, traffic, roadways, water quality, future growth of St. Lucie County, Density, site plans, Crosstown/Rangeline Road widening, wetlands, and the proposed transmittal approval or denial. 20 1 BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, December 6, 2022 6:00 PM Commissioner Leet motioned to postpone the item until after the holidays to allow more discussion and the motion died (1) to (4) due to lack of a second.
